If it wasn't bad enough that this guy is always trying to derail our efforts and get us to be more "objective" (while being completely subjective and only focusing on the tried side of the coin that blames personality), now he's ordering fellow short men to thank heightists for "making them strong" in a very lecturing and policing way with some cliche parroted platitudes. There's also no confusion as to which gender of short people he's aiming this at. *cough* men *cough*. The quote: https://www.reddit.com/r/short/comments/db5vvr/grow_stronger/
There will always be people in your life who treat you wrong. Be sure to thank them for making you strong.Imagine telling black people, women or LGBTQs to "thank" their oppressors. The worst thing imo is that he's trying to make this uplifting and look like a good deed that will help short men, and this factor makes me want to jab him through my monitor so hard that he chokes on his teeth.  |

He's one of /r/short's top 5 uncle toms for sure. He's very good at lecturing short men about how to behave but not anyone else. Here he is at it again in another thread: old.reddit.com/r/short/comments/dawgbb/why_its_awful_and_awesome_being_short/f1xx3i2/Notice how he places the responsibility on short men's attitudes. What about the attitudes of those who discriminate based on an immutable physical characteristic? Nothing about them of course. They don't have to change their outlook, only short men do. Why? If it's feasible to try and control/influence a short man's mindset, then why not anyone else's? Like you said, he wouldn't dare give the same spiel to any group society actually cares about. He can easily prove me wrong though, by talking the same way to all the women who complain about body shaming. He won't of course, because the feminists and white knights will skin him alive rather than pat him on the head (and we all know how much garmins care about coming across as good boys). He'd receive the usual speech about "victim blaming." I've seen plenty of female users on /r/short talk about struggling with being overweight, so I doubt he would dare their ire. Also notice that when people try to embolden a woman's own attitude about her body, ultimately the main focus is on the shaming itself. Source: every mainstream article about fat shaming. People also know short men have crap social status so it's easy to wag their fingers at us. One would receive much more backlash going after the heightists themselves because they outnumber us and have more influence. By the way, this reminds me of an older post starring another prevalent garmin, check it out if you haven't already: heightismhub.freeforums.net/thread/253/renowned-short-prancer-spitting-delusions |

You hit his mentality right on the head. He preaches kuntfidence and attitude and tells fellow short men “you can’t change other people, only yourself”, but conveniently wants to control other short mens’ mindsets (other people), by telling them to suck it up. As you said, when the focus is on the attitude of the women, people like him completely validate her feelings and gives strategies , but as we see here when the focus is on the attitude of short men, all they get are cliche shit quotes and told to “thank” tall men for making them strong. If anything tall men should be thanking us for making them tall and privileged, lol. And wow.That garmin you linked sounds like he has his head so far up his ass that he’s forgotten what the world looks like. No wonder the short male suicide rate is proven much higher than taller people with shit like this being pushed day in day out. |

Great post. You hit his mentality right on the head.

Exactly. Apparently short men must be an entirely different species with more malleable brains or something. Everyone loves trying to mold a short man's mindset, but ask them to do the same with anyone else and they'll have a hundred and one excuses for why that's not possible. Basically, it's always about us making everyone else comfortable by being more positive or whatever. But when was the last time anyone cared whether or not they viewed short height positively, or if their heightism was making a short person uncomfortable? Double standards up the ass like always. |
